Blue Rondo A La Turk (Round, Round, Round)

Round, round, round a melody
Round, round, round a harmony
Round, round, round a melody,
Harmony, melody-steadily

Round, round, round a melody
Round, round, round a memory
Round, round, round a melody,
Memory, melody, merrily

There's a melody I used to play
Counterpoint every yesterday
Swiftly up and down I hasten and
Chasten my fingers and heart to play

Round, round, round a melody
Round, round, round a memory
Round, round, round a melody
Memory, harmony-steadily

Round, round, round a melody
Round, round, round a mystery
Round, round, round a melody,
Mystery, mirror of history

Taking over all my reveries
Hearing passions in the melodies
Play it up and down so wearily
Stumbling, fumbling, tumbling

Round, round, round a melody
Round, round, round a harmony
Round, round, round a melody
Harmony, melody, memory

Round, round town I follow you
Round, round town I'm calling you
Round, round town I hasten to do
All the chasing you want me to

Open up an opportunity,
For I know that you will be
Truly happy and content with me
Measure me, treasure me, pleasure me

Open up an opportunity
Open up an offer You will be
Truly happy and content with me
Measure me, treasure me, pleasure me

Round, round, round a melody
Round, round, round a you and me
Round, round, round a melody
You and me, melody and harmony

Round, round, round a melody
Round, round, round a harmony
Round, round, round a melody,
Harmony, mystery-you and me

Don't you see
That we were meant to be,
One and the same
Melody, married to harmony,
One and the same
Change the score
We will be ever more
One and the same
Melody, married to harmony
One and the same

Here it comes, our symphony,
Measure by measure
A melody and harmony,
You and me in harmony
You and me so happy
Were making it
Shaking the blues aint bothering me

Here it comes, our symphony,
Measure by measure,
A pleasure
A melody and harmony,
You and me in harmony
You and me so happy
We found a new rondo,
To end the blue rondo today
